Setup

Identity Code

NOTE: The latest software can be downloaded at www.crestron.com/software.

The IP ID is set within the TPMC-8X-GA’s IP table using Crestron Toolbox™. For

information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP IDs

of multiple TPMC-8X-GA devices in the same system must be unique.

When setting the IP ID, consider the following:

• The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the Crestron

Studio™ or SIMPL Windows program.

• Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a

unique IP ID.

Internal Battery Switch

The TPMC-8X-GA comes with a TPMC-8X-BTP Internal Battery Pack installed. To

prevent internal battery drain during shipment or long-term storage, the

TPMC-8X-GA has a battery switch inside the battery compartment. To use the

internal battery, remove the battery compartment cover by first removing the two

screws that attach it to the back of the touch screen. Move the switch to the left (ON)

position and re-attach the battery compartment cover.

To conserve internal battery power when the unit is not used for extended periods,

move the switch to the right (OFF) position.

NOTE: The internal battery can still be charged with the switch in the OFF

position.
